      A Letter From The Editor

      We’re back again! This time for an issue featuring good vs. evil as our central theme. I always find it incredibly fascinating to see the vastly different takes each creative artist has on such a weighty theme. Everyone sees good and evil in their own way and in many different shades of morality. With the recent bombings at the Boston marathon this issue can hit unfortunately close to home for many people.

      Everyone here at UF express our deepest sympathies and condolences to those who have lost someone or who have been injured in these senseless attacks. I hope we can all remember the good that surrounds each and every one of us, no matter how dark times can be.

      Now, let’s proceed to much lighter fare! We have an incredibly great issue for you this month including a wildly original take on a piece of Arthurian Legend! Each of these stories has found a way to emphasize the on-going conflict of good vs. evil, be it internal or external, and I personally enjoyed them all very much. Til next time, Welcome to the Frontier!

      When Things Go Missing

      By Deborah Brasket

      Cal stands on the front stoop of his parent’s home with a cold breeze swirling around him, liking the damp chill seeping into his skin, goosing it up. The sun is almost gone, a faint, dull glow smeared along the horizon. Dusk settles like ashes over the neighborhood rooftops. He watches his sister backing her Volvo down the driveway, heading off to Northridge or Norwalk or wherever the hell she’s living these days. She’d come home looking for a little comfort since mom had gone missing. Fat chance of that. But he’s sorry now that she’s gone, sorry he hadn’t at least said he loved her, or asked her for a loan, and missing her even before she disappears around the corner. He takes a long last drag on his cigarette, squeezes the tip, and drops what’s left into his shirt pocket to save for later.

      It feels weird walking into his parents’ house without knocking, even though he’d grown up here, been living here since his last stint in county jail,
